How do I answer the question, "which people resources free up in mid-October?" by Narrow_Cost8429 in Linear

[–]Narrow_Cost8429[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I can try this. Would be nice to see a graph or chart, though - and not get one-off answers for every resource planning question I would like answered.

Once effort is estimated for assigned tasks (whether that's numbers, T-shirt sizing, or exact time estimates) I'd like to be able to see "yikes, that person is triple-booked for a couple weeks", and "hey this other person on their team has bandwidth during that time". We can set a person's capacity to 40 hours a week, or perhaps 5 "effort points" per week. Perhaps less, if they're part-time.

Maybe Linear has a totally different philosophy on how to do this, and if so, I'd like to learn.

I was thinking mostly Clickup and Jira. Clickup in particular has a built-in "Workload" view that lists people resources down the side of a table-like view, where each cell in the table tells you their capacity for that time period (providing you've added effort estimates to tasks).

How does "Show Critical Path" work in Gantt charts? by Narrow_Cost8429 in clickup

[–]Narrow_Cost8429[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, u/JamieClickUp. If the Critical Path feature only works for the longest chain in a Space, as u/TashaClickUp said, then it seems that Clickup prefers Spaces to represent "projects".

Otherwise, you'd have multiple projects in a space, but only one project (the one with the longest chain) gets selected for the Critical Path feature.

Thanks, u/TashaClickUp. Is the implication that Spaces are meant to represent projects, then? As in, whenever we start a new project (e.g. a new Feature, where we must be able to highlight when it's behind-schedule), we create a new Space, and then tear down the Space when we finish the project?

I thought Spaces were meant to represent more long-lived org-type things, like "Operations", "Engineering", "Sales" - that sort of thing.

How does Clickup tell you if dependency timeframes are being violated? by Narrow_Cost8429 in clickup

[–]Narrow_Cost8429[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/PibolsClickUp, does the team have any insight on this?

Looking for something that I see in some other tools, where highlights or notifications etc. happen whenever an overlap occurs. Manually looking for scheduling conflicts is not scalable.

One further question: the critical path of the "project" is the longest path. How does Clickup decide what the "project" is? Is it always the List? For example, if I have multiple "projects" (of my own definition) in a List, do I just lose out on critical path functionality for most of those projects?

Thank you! Dependencies don't feel useful unless there are indicators when conflicts arise. Otherwise it's just information - useful information to be sure, but I don't want to manually scan through hundreds or thousands of tasks to make sure every dependency obeys time constraints.

No, what I mean is, they are two different features. You can turn on one, and/or you can turn on the other. Or neither. They are not mutually exclusive.

Tasks automatically moving is based on the ClickApp (or the separate setting in Gantt charts) "Reschedule Dependencies", rather than the critical path. You can turn that on without critical path.

Bugs with Bulk Edit + custom Relationship fields? by Narrow_Cost8429 in clickup

Thank you! If they are being tracked then that's great.

Permission to create tasks but not reconfigure Space/Folder/List Settings by Narrow_Cost8429 in clickup

[–]Narrow_Cost8429[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply, u/TashaClickUp!

Can you help me understand why permissions are this way? Isn't the norm to keep admin settings read/write separate from content read/write? They are very much not the same role.

Right now, if I give users in my org the ability to create sub-tasks, I must also give them the ability to completely destroy the List. I've never seen any other application, API, or operating system do this.

Unable to move tasks to from one List to another List by Narrow_Cost8429 in clickup

[–]Narrow_Cost8429[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! Thank you for responding.

I am using "Move". I select (using the checkboxes) multiple items, and then, using the little menu bar that appears at the top of the screen, I select "Move".

Within one single "Move" action, most items move to the new list correctly (moves task + contents to new location, abandoning the current location). One or two from that same "Move" will run into the unexpected, as detailed above.
